Muggers offer lift to man in Bommanahalli, rob him

Santosh Kumar V, a resident of Chandapur, works as executive in a private firm. On January 4 at around 5.45 am, Kumar was walking near Roopena Agrahara bus stop on Hosur Main Road in Bommanahalli, looking for transport to go home.

A car slowed near him and the men inside asked him for directions to Electronics City. Kumar said, “I guided them and they moved a few steps away and stopped the car. The driver asked me where I was going. When I told him, he offered me a lift. I told him I will pay him the standard share amount cabbies take from people on this route. He readily agreed. Two men were already in the car. I sat next to them. The driver drove the car for some distance and the duo sitting next to me took out machetes. They told me they will kill me if I try to escape or raise an alarm. I asked them to take whatever they wanted, but to leave me unhurt. They took two mobile phones, two rings, a wrist watch, head phones, charger and Rs 1,500 in cash from me.”

The men then drove till Sri Sai Hospital in Attibele and dropped Kumar on the service road and sped away. Kumar had noted down the registration number of the car, KA-03-MG-4398. The muggers, he says, are aged between 25-30 years.

An investigating officer from Bommanahalli police station said, “We have taken up the case of robbery and ascertaining the details of the miscreants. We have been telling people not to get into random cabs offering drops, but still they continue to the same.”
